Amazing how much those taillight lenses change the look of the rearend. Gotta have a clear pic of that grille! Beautiful car. Unbelievable it's all original.

 

A great find. Hope to see it at some events in the future. Glad to see that some of the old drag cars are saved as they ran. Looks great from every angle.

One wicked '58 you scored there! Glad for ya!

 

That is bad-*** for certain!

 

Such a very well preserved time capsule. I would venture to say some heavy $$ offer's will come your way over time. Here's to keeping as is. The high will last a long time no doubt.

 

I like it! Interesting taillight treatment.

 

Yep, dig that car man!
Hope to see it out this year!

Tony

 

That's awesome!

 

Sweet!

 

*****in' Car.

 

Super Cool! Cant say I like the tail lights as good as the originals but hey, they are part of the cars history now, so be it.

 

Priceless!

 

Wow, just WOW!!!
Totally killer car.

 

I spoke to Dan a few years back during the Niagara Reunion at Lancaster Speedway. It's the first time I remember seeing the car which is weird because back in '66-'67 my brother and I ran a G/Stock '58 Delray Tudor sedan at Niagara and Lancaster. Of all the cars running you'd think I'd remember another. '58. Glad to see you're keeping a piece of local WNY drag history alive. Wonder whatever happened to our old '58?
